No, our build cluster is still using base 4.2 by default.  Most of the
ports that fail are fixed by specifying a USES that names a newer
compiler.

Clang is "coming soon".  It's a race between the folks working on
fixing ports on base vs. the folks working on clang :-)

In any case FreeBSD 12 I figure will probably stay the way it is.

Well ... I just got back from Canada a few days ago, and I'm way behind
on email, voicemail, and so on.  It will be a bit of time before I can
sit down and think about this.
